Pedagogy is a social science that studies human educational activities and their laws. It exists widely in human life. Through the study of educational phenomena and problems, the general laws of education are revealed.

The research object of pedagogy should be "educational problems" based on "educational facts" and guided by educational values, with the purpose of exploring and revealing the regular relationship between educational activities and serving educational practice.

Educational problems mark the bud of pedagogy; The development of educational problems is the internal motive force to promote the development of pedagogy, and the transformation of educational problems is manifested in the change of educational research tradition and paradigm; Different answers to the same question have formed different educational thoughts and ideas and their factions. Pedagogical research should have "problem consciousness" to prevent the emergence of "false problems" and deepen the problems continuously.

practice

This problem is the relationship between academic and practical pedagogy. Theoretically speaking, the two are unified. Without an academic and complete theory, pedagogy cannot play a guiding role in practice.

The educational theory that is divorced from practice and can't guide practice will inevitably become empty conceptual thinking and fact analysis, and it is no longer a real academic. Judging from the actual situation, there is a phenomenon of separation that cannot be ignored in all countries in the world, and the result is that both sides lose.

The strategies to overcome this phenomenon are: fully realize that any educational practice contains educational theory, and there is no educational practice that is not restricted by educational theory; It is firmly believed that any real pedagogy research should aim at the determination, analysis, explanation or solution of educational problems, rather than abstract, empty and tasteless conceptual thinking and fact analysis.

Obviously, the reason why pedagogy research can play a guiding role in educational practice is because it is the knowledge base for reflecting on educational practice and providing it with new educational knowledge as the basis for changing ideas, innovating systems and standardizing behaviors.
